Splendid day trip to wonderful Lesotho. - We are so happy that we booked this, it was an incredible experience to drive through the Sani Pass and visit Lesotho. Also the visit to the village was a very special moment. Peter is a fantastic guide who provided us with a lot of useful information. We also were really lucky with the wildlife during the day. We will definitely recommend this tour to family and friends back in Belgium. Thanks also for the professional organisation.

Wonderful day trip to Lesotho! - This is a wonderful trip! We were picked up at our hotel in Umhlanga at 6am by Grant in a comfortable sedan and driven to Underberg where we then transferred into a Toyota 4x4 with our Zulu driver Lungelo. Both drivers were happy to share information about SA and the tour. We saw lots of local wildlife along the drive up the pass with lots of stops to stretch your legs, take in the views and grab some photos of the beautiful vistas. Lungelo got us through the SA border crossing quickly and then were on the 8km rugged terrain switchbacks to get to the Lesotho boarder crossing, again very quick process. Once through we were visited a Basotho village where we were introduced to their way of life and tried their bread and beer. It was now close to 1:00pm so continued onto the highest pub in Africa to enjoy a buffet lunch. The local beer Maluti is a very nice lager. The views again are wonderful and we had the beautiful rock jumper birds entertaining us. We headed back down the pass around 2:30 again enjoying the beautiful views and conversation. Our driver Grant was waiting for us in Underberg and got us back to our hotel by 7:30. A wonderful day and experience!

Fantastic experience - Wonderful experience, super well organized by Britney. She worked hard so that I could participate in the fair price (because I was alone). I even got a driver from Durban to Underberg: the trip started from there while I was staying in Durban. Stunning landscapes, a road of incredible beauty. Our driver/guide Nathi was exceptional, skilful, careful, with little care. He was passionate and taught us a lot. I loved this day and strongly recommend participating.

Phantastic excursion! - I became aware of this trip to Sani Pass & Lesotho at short notice and contacted the organization as I had some questions. I was contacted immediately by Whatsup and received answers and assistance with booking. Very friendly, uncomplicated, competent and helpful. The next morning I was picked up as agreed and a friendly driver took me (and others) to Underberg where we changed into a fast new Toyota Land Cruiser. Aldo, our driver, was very experienced and knew every curve and spot (he knows the pass inside and out)! I felt very safe driving up the steep and bumpy Sani Pass! The landscape, the views and the pass itself are spectacular and the drive is an unforgettable experience! Not dangerous at all, but still an adventure and you get a lot of helpful information about the geology, fauna and flora, traditions and whatever else interests you. The trip within Lesotho is short: a visit to a typical village gives an impression of local life. Very friendly people! Aldo's promise was right: it's YOUR trip and you have enough flexibility to plan your day and get the information that interests you! I won't miss this trip and can only highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unusual and exciting!!

Absolute Stunner - Honestly, the views are spectacular, but our tour guide Mo, was outstanding. He was able to guide us through the region with so much knowledge and also taught us about South African culture. I cannot recommend this tour enough!!

THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY YOU CAN GET. - This company has been great in all aspects. Firstly they have the best price possible and the best price you can find for the activity. Secondly, the agency answer ALL my long questions all the time, the guy who came for us in Durban was so nice ( Grant) I felt a real good and detailed service and the experience in Lesotho was great to have an introduction and a great peaceful and beautiful landscape. If someone want to include the itinerary from Southafrica and you are in Durban, you will be surprised of how great this experience is. Company is the best by far for this service and I asked all of them. Best price, amazing service. Impossible to fail. Thank you for all and listen to me so many times. You did your best.

Sani Pass 2023 " Mountains that Sing" - This is my second time up the mountain with the same service provider and Roof of Africa never fails to impress. Our Tour guide this time was Nathi and he was amazing with a wealth of knowledge of Lesotho, taking us into the surrounding village to taste the steam bread. I genuinely would have liked for the trip to extend more to the Captial, perhaps next time. Booking with ROA was seamless, with constant communication that made the entire experience stress free. NOW THE RIDE UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN: If you have this on your bucket list, then please do not hesitate, the sheer experience laying eyes on the magnitude of our landscape is breathtaking. The ride offers, small burst of adrenaline that will make you squeak in delight. When you get to the TOP, you understand that South Africa is truly majestic country. Thank you, Roof of Africa, for yet another well worth the 3 hours' drive it took us to get there.
